    NEW: White Elephant Swap

    I'm sorry I didn't get this posted yesterday (Friday), we're at a critical phase with one of the canines. The heat (103F, 112F with the heat index today) is causing some complications for an already very old dog with issues related to age alone. Friday he gave us quite a scare and I didn't even get online to check email, much more cruise any websites. Box - which I will add as much to as possible between now and mailing time, but these things at least I know "for sure" if you will unless otherwise noted: Seeds - selection of herbs, veggies, melons, & pretties - most of these will be heirloom varieties. If there's anything the 'winner' doesn't want, like say peppers due an allergy or something, just let me know! pencil & plant "stakes" for labeling Stationery - suitable for laser printers, typewriters, etc. How Does Your Garden Grow theme an old print of a Garden Tea Room - kitties and a touch of Victorian Era theme Assortment of Teas - and I do mean an assortment. :) I'm a tea-aholic! Hot tea that is, but this assortment will contain not just tea (real tea), but also bags/sachets for infusions that have no tea in them at all (herbs, etc.) Demerara sugar/organic pure cane sugar - Did I say I like tea? HOT tea? I got hooked on Demerara sugar when living in Scotland and now go back and forth between it and "white" sugar. The Demerara is divine especially when bothered by allergies or under-the-weather and during the colder months. *MAYBE* some Stevia Plus packets - an all-natural sweetener from the Stevia plant. These are a "maybe" because I can't remember if I gave them away already! I have to check! Mother-of-Thousands seedlings - Kalanchoe sp. - succulent plant(s). I adore the mother-plant to these seedlings - she looks absolutely alien! hehe Neat diversity to have amongst your houseplants and requires very little maintenance. some Messenger(R) - if you're not familiar with Messenger, I'll happily include info. I use Messenger on ALL of my plants! "Velma's Cactus" pups - heirloom cactus of a "barrel type". Pups are small, but the largest specimen I have had of this variety was about a foot and a half tall. This cactus has a "history" to it, that I will share either here (in a different post) or the recipient of the box. It blooms a beautiful magenta-fuchsia in colour, isn't terribly "vicious" where its prickles are concerned - a rather mild-mannered cactus compared to others. Unlike prickly-pear cactus, you won't have to worry about "invisible" sticklers in your skin causing pain. Obedient Plant - this one blooms light purple in colour. Very pretty perennial. Heirloom Iris tubers (rhizomes? roots - you get the idea!) These are an anybody's-guess on colours and form. They were grown by the now-deceased elderly couple that used to live on this property. They were what those of us in the south call "good people". Some of these irises might very well date back to their parents' or grandparents' gardening. I didn't have the heart to get rid of them, but they don't get the love here that they should so I'd like to share them with another iris-lover. Provided there is room, I'm probably also going to tuck in some body/bath stuff that I make. It's too hot for soap-making this time of year but I think I've got some wee bottles to at least give some samples of Gardenia bubble bath, etc. Some other succulent cuttings/leaves for rooting, such as Hummel's Sunset, an heirloom White-flowering Sedum, etc. I'll also include some Rooting Hormone and directions incase the recipient is unfamiliar with rooting succulents/cacti from cuttings. Themed stickers - either for scrapbooking or for fun to include with correspondence/parcels, etc. Garden related on one level or another. :) And whatever else I can fit into the box! LOL

    April, look again. You are still box #5, but you will be the 12th one to pick a box on this turn. When it goes to the 2nd round, you will get another number as to what turn you get to pick.
    Well, it looks like all the boxes are up! I have several I really want! You all make it so hard to decide. So, I put some numbers in a bowl and my grandson picked for me. I pick #6 box. Shirley or brittneysgran.
    So now Sassy, it's your turn to pick!

    am really sorry I can't do this swap. It sounds like a real blast.
    I can however offer one more box of books, garden and birds primarily, to the first person willing to pay postage. It will be heavy so you may want to go to the USPS site and check for book rate boxes to your area from Zip 21822. I'm expecting 10 to 12 pounds.
    Please email me direct as I may not have time to check here. Thanks
    Best wishes to Suzie and Anita and any others on the sick list.

    Picking boxes finally got rolling, almost done with the first round.

    Momcats box #4 never got posted so Box #4 will be missing unless she posts today. This leaves box #15 and #5 to be chosen.
    Sassy had box #13 and had to drop out so this accounts for all the boxes.

    HI Everyone, I am so sorry. I have had computer problems and haven't been on line. Am I too late? It looks like everyone has picked already. If everything is accounted for, that's fine. I have been bogged down with overtime, and then got hit with several viruses on the computer. I feel horrible about this.

    Let me know.

    Deb (momcat)-

    Sorry you had computer problems. My understanding of the messages above is that if you posted the contents of your box today, you could join in on the swap. Obviously, you would not pick your own box, so I guess you would be picking box #15 and Marie would get yours since she is the last person on the list.
    We are only finishing up the first part of this swap. After this round (when eveyone picks a box), we will all have an order for stealing a box so there is still more to come. However, post today if you want to be in on the swap because we are getting ready to move on to step #2.
    Now, I hope I didn't step on any toes in answering you and I hope I got this right. If not, someone please correct me.

    Hi All,
    The rest of the list got wrapped up quick!

    Jeanne,
    I think you did a great job answering especially since Carol is on her trip. : )

    We still need an impartial person to draw names once Momcat responds. Who's not playing this month who wants to draw names out a hat? Any volunteers?

    White Floral Scented Candle on gold base
    Glass Vase with green colored glass 'stones'
    Clear glass paper weight with etched roses
    Pink Gardening Gloves
    4 Stargazer Lily Bulbs
    Flower Seeds:
    Petunia Pink Sunshine
    Columbine Rose Barlow
    Calendula
    Delphinium
    Sweet Peas
    Pansy
    and I'm sure I can find a few more.

    Again, I do apologize for being so late.

    Sending wishes for four special ladies:
    Carol, congratulations on the new baby in the family and hope you are feeling better now that your meds have caught up to you.
    Susie and Anita, prayers for you that you will be better soon. Sassy, I'm hoping the situation with you brother has improved.
    Take care of yourselves!
    The sun has been out here the last two days which is helping. We had bad storms the day before that. We have been getting rain regularly since January and I guess we forgot about the problems it brings - my winter sown containers get flooded and then I spend a few days completely taking the tops off in the daytime so they can dry out a bit and recovering them at night. At least I don't seem to have lost anything yet. However, now that I have planted over 100 containers, it is quite a project! Actually, most of the milk jugs seem to be able to handle the rain, it's all my smaller "use anything style" containers that are having the bad problems. I will definitely save the milk jugs to use again next year. Actually, we go through lots of milk at our house but nearly all the milk jugs now are opaque rather than transparent so there are only a few that we can save. Sometimes I cut the whole top off the opaque ones and try to use them, but then the plastic that I put over the top does not hold up well to the heavy rain. I use rubber bands to attach plastic to the top of the container and those seem to snap apart every few days. Maybe eventually I will get just the right set up. However, the plants in the ground are happy as can be and I will have wonderful displays of daffodils and tulips this year. Will have to post pictures soon.

    Maryanne-Yes you did it right. Looks like Momcat starts this round off picking the box she wants. It doesn't matter who picked it on the first round it is now up for grabs. I've got to get my voodoo doll out for the one who picks the one I want. LOL

    Have fun everyone and Momcat go go go. Jeanne will be right behind you.
